The state of Minnesota is entering another in a long string of summer days marred by air quality alerts. Poor air quality will continue through Saturday with lingering wildfire smoke from Canada.

Minneapolis is under an air quality alert due to wildfire smoke, with a forecast of smoke-filled skies and upcoming clear conditions.

The city fell from fifth to 11th during the day, showing some improvement in air quality but still registering worse conditions than in Egypt, China and Vietnam.
